PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. 



Since the publication of the last edition of this little 
work I have been able to find an unexpectedly large 
number of eponymic clinical terms not previously in- 
cluded, and in order to insert them, the table itself has 
been rewritten and greatly increased in size. The Dose 

! Table has also been enlarged by the inclusion of the 
names and doses of drugs recently introduced. Added 
Tables of Poisons and of Eponymic Tests bring the total 
number of words and terms defined above 30,000. The 
occasion has been utilized to correct a number of 

' inaccuracies in the body of the book. 
. The publisher informs me that the total circulation of 
y dictionaries has now passed the one hundred thousand 

^ iark, — a popularity most encouraging to an author.

FROM THE 

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 



Medical students and physicians often have need of 
a small, elementary word-book that may be slipped into 
the pocket for hurried reference, and to serve as a pass- 
ing reminder of the essential meanings of the more 
commonly used terms. Such books are too frequently 
made for the benefit of the publisher rather than for 
that of the consultant, and therefore err in a condensa- 
tion so great as to result in vagueness and inaccuracy, 
and err especially in the definition of too few words — 
and those of decidedly antique flavor. The little volume 
herewith offered seeks to avoid these faults, and par- 
ticularly that last mentioned, by containing about 
double the number of words included in the ordinary 
pocket lexicons, and by being made up of the words of 
the living medical literature of the day. The addition 
of the useful tables of muscles, nerves, arteries, the 
various m.. roorganisms, comparison of thermometric 
scales, and, above all, of a dose-table compiled directly 
from the latest and best works on materia medica, must 

also prove useful.

Add to this slowly a strong solution of sodium hydrate, stir- 
ring continually until a clear solution is obtained. To a small 
quantity of this add some solution of dextrose, and boil. A black 
precipitate of metallic bismuth is formed. Or the test may be 
performed in this way : add some solid bismuth subnitrate to the 
liquid already rendered alkaline with carbonate of soda or potash, 
and boil. The. existence of dextrose will be evinced by the darken- 
ing of the bismuth salt or a black precipitate.

Drechsel's Test for Bile Acids. A beautiful red color is produced 
if bile acids are present in a substance treated with a little cane- 
Sugar and a few drops of a mixture composed of 5 parts of syrupy 
phosphoric acid and 1 part water, and warmed on a water-bath. 

Dumontpallier's Test for Bile Pigments. See Smith's Test. 

EHRLICH'S Reaction. The treatment of the urine with diazo- 
benzosulphuric acid produces a deep-red color that is due to a com- 
bination of the reagent with an aromatic amido-compound found 
in the urine in typhoid fever and pneumonia ; frequently also in 
pleurisy, measles, tuberculosis, erysipelas, and peritonitis. To 
produce this reaction, equal parts of the reagent and urine are 
mixed and about one-eighth of their total volume of ammonia i 
added. The reagent consists of two solutions: (1) Sulphanilio 
acid, 1 gram ; hydrochloric acid, 10 c.c. ; distilled water, 200 c.c. 
(2) Nitrate of sodium, 0.5 gram; distilled water, 100 c.c.

drops of an alcoholic solution of nitrous acid, ethyl ether, and an 
equal amount of concentrated sulphuric acid. A red coloration 
is produced. 

Eiselt's Reaction for Melanin in Urine. Concentrated nitric 
acid, sulphuric acid, potassium dichromate, or other oxidizin 
agents render urine containing melanin dark colored. 

Ewald's Test for Hydrochloric Acid in Contents of Stomach, 
Dilute 2 c.c. of a 10 per cent, solution of potassium sulphocyanid 
and 0.5 c.c. of a neutral solution of acetate of iron to 10 c.c. with 
water. This makes a ruby-red solution ; if a few drops of it are 
placed in a porcelain dish, and 1 or 2 drops of the liquid to be tested 
are allowed to come in contact with it, a faint violet cloud is ob- 
served in the presence of HC1. On mixing, the color becomes 
brown. 

FEHLING'S Test for Glucose. Two solutions are required to 
be kept in two distinct parts in well-stoppered bottles. A. 
Dissolve 36.64 grams of copper sulphate in 500 c.c. of water. B. 
Dissolve 173 grams of Rochelle salts in 100 c.c. of a solution of 
caustic soda having a specific gravity of 1.34, and dilute with water 
to 500 c.c. Mix equal volumes of A and B for use; the result is 
a dark-blue fluid known as Fehling's solution. The solution 
should always be fresh, as tartaric acid has a tendency to become 
converted into racemic acid, which reduces cupric salts like sugar 
Its absence should always be ascertained by boiling the Fehling's 
solution, which should remain unaltered by this process. On addi- 
tion of a solution of glucose and then boiling a red precipitate of 
the cuprous oxid or hydrate occurs. 

Fermentation Test for Glucose. Half fill a test-tube with solu- 
tion of dextrose, and add a little dried German yeast. Invert 
the tube over mercury and allow it to stand in a warm place for 
24 hours. The sugar will ferment, carbonic acid gas accumulates 



MEDICAL DICTIONARY. 803 

in the tube, and the liquid gives the tests for alcohol. A control 
experiment should be made with yeast and water in another test- 

Hube, as a small yield of carbonic acid is often obtained from im- 
purities in the yeast. See also Roberts. 

ieux's Test for Antipyrin. Add 2.5 grams of sodii metaphos- 
phoric acid and 12 drops of sulphuric acid to the suspected fluid, 
filter, and to the clear filtrate add a few drops of sodium nitrate. 
If antipyrin be present, a clear green color will develop. 

'leischl's Reaction for Bile Pigments. Add concentrated sul- 
phuric acid by means of a pipet to urine already treated with a 
concentrated solution of nitrate of soda. The sulphuric acid sinks 
' | to the bottom of the test-tube and produces color layers, as in 
Gmelin's test. 

[ 'lorence Reaction. On the addition of a strong solution of iodin 

and iodid of potassium to human spermatic fluid brown crystals 

in the shape of needles or plates are formed. This is not wholly 

f reliable as a test for human spermatic fluid, since the crystals can 

also be found in the spermatic fluid of animals. 

^ormaldehyd. Phenylhydrazin has been proposed by Vitali as a 
test for formaldehyd. A mixture of the two gives rise to a milky 
discoloration; eventually a yellowish deposit is precipitated upon 
the sides of the test-tube. In concentrated solutions the turbidity 
appears immediately. In solutions of a strength of 1 : 100 the re- 
action occurs after a few seconds ; in those of 1 : 1000, in 1 minute ; 
in those of 1 : 10,000, in 5 minutes ; in those of 1 : 100,000, in 2 to 3 

u hours. See also Kentmann.

ing proteids with sulphuric acid. 

3AL-LOIS' Test for Inosit. Allow the inosit solution to evapo- 
rate to incipient dryness ; moisten the residuum with a little mer- 

j curie nitrate solution and it assumes a yellow color on drying, 
which becomes a fine red on heating strongly, but disappears on 

I cooling. Tyrosin, sugar, and proteids must be absent.

bluish-violet. S.'s Test for Carbohydrates in Urine, dip strips 
of paper in a mixture of equal parts of glacial acetic acid and 
xylidin, with a very little alcohol, and dry. Warm the urine with 
sulphuric acid, and expose the paper to the fumes. In the pres- 
ence of carbohydrates the paper will be stained red. S.'s Test 
for Urea, add to the urea a drop of a concentrated watery solution 
of furfurol, and next a drop of hydrochloric acid of specific gravity 
1.10. A'play of color is produced, changing from yellow, green, and 
blue to purple. The same reaction is given by allantoin, but it is 
less intense. S.'s Test for Uric Acid, allow the substance to dis- 
j solve in sodium carbonate, and on the addition of a solution of sil- 
ver nitrate a reduction of black silver oxid is obtained. If a piece 
of filter-paper previously treated with silver nitrate solution be 
treated with a drop of the solution of the substance in sodium 
carbonate, a reduction of black silver oxid will also be formed on 
the paper. 

4 Schoenbein's Reaction for Copper. On the addition of potas- 

J slum cyanid and tincture of guaiac to a solution of a copper salt a 

t blue coloration is produced. 

r Schroeder's Test for Urea. Add to the urea crystal a solution 

I of bromin in chloroform. The urea will decompose, with the for- 

i mation of gas. 
Schultze's Reagent for Cellulose. Iodin dissolved to saturation 
in a zinc chlorid solution of specific gravity 1.8, and the addition 
of six parts of potassium iodid. This reagent turns cellulose blue, 
S.'s Test for Cholesterin, evaporate to dryness with nitric 
acid, using a porcelain dish on the water-bath. In the presence 

I of cholesterin a yellow residue is obtained, which changes to yel- 
lowish-red on the addition of ammonia. S.'s Test for Proteids, 
to a solution of the proteid add a few drops of a dilute cane-sugar 
solution and then concentrated sulphuric acid. On warming and 
keeping the temperature at 60° C, a bluish-red color is produced.

and a violet precipitate are obtained. 

Silver Test for Glucose in Urine. Add ammonia in excess to a 
strong solution of silver nitrate ; add the urine, and boil. In the 
presence of glucose a metallic silver mirror is deposited at the 
bottom of the tube. Aldehyd and tartaric acid give the same 
reaction. 

Sjoeqvist's Test for the Quantitative Estimation of Free HC1 
in Gastric Juice. It depends upon the action of carbonate of 
barium on the acid of the secretion, the hydrochloric acid being 
estimated as chlorid of barium by means of titration with a solu- 
tion of bichromate of potassium.

dition of acetic acid to remove the mucin ; filter, and overlay the 
filtrate with a solution prepared by dissolving 8 grams of mer- 
curic chlorid and 4 grams of tartaric acid in 200 c.c. of water, 
and adding 20 grams of glycerin to it. In the presence of albumin

shown on the paper. For this test the liquid must be free from 

albumin. 
Struve's Test for Blood in Urine. To the urine, previously treated 

with ammonia or caustic potash, add tannin and acetic acid until 
; the mixture has an acid reaction. In the presence of blood a dark 

precipitate is formed. When this is filtered and dried, the hemin 

crystals may be obtained from the dry residue by adding chlorid 

of ammonia and glacial acetic acid. See Teichmann. 
Sulphonal. See Schwarz. 
Szabo's Test for Hydrochloric Acid in Contents of Stomach. 

Mix together equal parts of y^ per cent, solutions of ammonium 
i sulphocyanid and sodic-ferric tartrate. This makes a pale yellow 
3 liquid, which changes to brownish-red on the addition of a solu- 
i tion containing HC1. 

TANRET'S Reagent for Albumin. Potassium iodid, 3.32 grams ; 
f mercuric chlorid, 1.35 grams ; acetic acid, 20 c.c, diluted with dis- 
I tilled water to 60 c.c. This reagent, added to an albumin solu- 
l tion, gives a white precipitate. 
Taurin. See Lang. 

Teichmann X Test for Hemin. To the dry residue placed on a 
' slide a small crystal of sodium chlorides added and a cover-glass 
I laid over it. A few drops of glacial acetic acid are allowed to flow 
• in under the cover-glass, and the whole is heated gently so as not 
to boil the liquid. On cooling, rhombic crystals of hemin (Teich- 
■j mann's crystals) will be found. If no crystals appear after the 
r first warming, warm again ; and, if necessary, add more acetic 
, acid. 

Thormaehlen's Test for Melanin in Urine. To the urine to be 
tested add sodium, nitroprussid, caustic potash, and acetic acid, 
I and in the presence of melanin a deep-blue coloration will be pro- 
duced. 
Tollen's Reagent for Glucose. An ammoniacal silver solution 
i obtained by precipitating silver nitrate solution with caustic 
potash and adding just enough ammonia to dissolve the precipitate 
yielded. This solution is reduced by glucose. 
Trommer's Test for Glucose. To the liquid rendered alkaline by 
j caustic soda a fairly strong solution of cupric sulphate is added 
■ drop by drop until a little of the copper hydrate formed remains 
undissolved on shaking. On warming in the presence of glucose, a 
yellow reduction of hydrated suboxid of copper is first formed, 
and then red suboxid separates, even below the boiling-point. If 
I not enough copper salt has been used, the reaction will be yellow- 
ish-brown in color ; but if the copper salt is in excess, the excess 
! of hydrate is changed by boiling into a dark-brown hydrate, which 
1 interferes with the test.

TING THE DOSES OF OFFICIAL AND UNOFFICIAL DRUGS IN 
BOTH THE ENGLISH AND METRIC SYSTEMS. 



OMPILED SPECIALLY FOR GOULD'S POCKET DICTIONARY, 
OURTH EDITION, AND THE PHYSICIAN'S VISITING LIST. 

By A. A. STEVENS, A.M., M.D., 

LECTURER ON PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. 



'he Doses given are for adults ; for children, either Young's or Cow- 
j's rule is sufficiently accurate for most drugs, except narcotics and 
lartics. According to Young's rule the dose is obtained by dividing 

age by 12 plus the age. Thus, for a child of 3 years, — = ^or| 

fling's rule is to divide the number of the next birthday by 24. Thus, 
a child 5 years old, ■£% = %• Of narcotics, like opium, not more than 
-half of this proportion should be prescribed, while of cathartics this 
b may be exceeded two or three times. 

or subcutaneous administration the dose should be about one-half of 
t given by the mouth ; and for rectal administration about twice the 
Hint given by the mouth.

The LONDON LANCET said of Gould's 
Illustrated Dictionary: "That the work 
is well done is proved to our satisfaction 
by the fact that with a big selection of 
reference books by our side, which we 
have relentlessly used with the view of 
bringing to light mistakes or omissions, 
we have been unable to convict the new 
dictionary of any save the most trivial 
deficiencies/' More than 100,000 copies

Seventh Edition. Revised and Enlarged. 

POTTER'S 

Materia Medica, Pharmacy, 

and Therapeutics. 

A Handbook of Materia Medica, Pharmacy, and 
Therapeutics — including the Physiological Action of 
Drugs, Special Therapeutics of Diseases, Official and Ex- 
temporaneous Pharmacy, etc. By Sam'l O. L. Potter, 
m.d., f.e.c.p. (London), Professor of the Principles and 
Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine in the College 
of Physicians and Surgeons, San Francisco ; Brigade 
Surgeon, U. S. Vol. ; Author of " Speech and its Defects * 
and the " ? Quiz-Compends ? " of Anatomy and Materia 
Medica, etc. Eevised, Enlarged, and Improved. Octavo. 
With Thumb Index. Cloth, $5.00 ; Leather, $6.00 

A Unique Book. — The plan of this work is new and 
original with Dr. Potter, and its contents have been com- 
bined and arranged in such a way that it offers a compact 
statement of the subjects in hand, containing more correct 
information in a practical, concise form than any other 
publication of the kind. 

From the Medical Record, New York. 

" This is an old and valued friend which needs no commendation, 
much less an introduction. It ought to be in the library of every 
physician and student. It is the most convenient and most concise 
work on Therapeutics and Materia Medica in the English language, 
and is at the same time thoroughly reliable. Though necessarily 
largely a compilation, nevertheless there is much that is original, the 
author being one of the most prominent of American Therapeutists. 
The contents embrace the essentials of practical materia medica and 
therapeutics, the amount of pharmacy that every physician should 
possess, one of the best sections on prescription- writing ever written, 
besides a great mass of interesting and valuable material relating to 
the subject of the work. Both diseases and remedies are arranged 
alphabetically, making the book unusually convenient. The section 
1 on applied therapeutics includes, besides the writer's own views, the 
recommendations of fifty authors. All in all, the book is an exceed- 
ingly useful one." 

From the Therapeutic Gazette :— 

"In the enumeration of drugs suited to different disorders a very 

successful effort at discrimination has been made, both in the stage 
1 of disease and in the cases peculiarly suited to the remedy. It is 
! no mere list of diseases followed by a catalogue of drugs, but is a 

digest of modern therapeutics, and as such will prove of immense 

use to its possessor,"

From The American Journal of the Medical Sciences 

" This well-known book needs scarcely any comment at o 
It has been so fully and favorably dwelt upon in The Jam 
former appearances that but little more can be added now. 
a standard work of American medical literature is not s: 
much for it, also that it is a thoroughly reliable guid 
practitioner if called upon to define his position in th 
forum. 

"To the student of medical jurisprudence and toxicc 
invaluable, as it is concise, clear, and thorough in ever; 
The absence of cumbersome quotations enhances its value. 

From The Cleveland Medical Gazette. 

"No physician ought to practice medicine a day witho 
upon medical jurisprudence in his library, as questions p 
a medico-legal aspect are almost of daily occurrence. . . Ma 
students are unable to secure any of the extended works 
six volumes on this subject, but Dr. Reese's work is within 
of all. The matter is condensed and yet contains all the 
pertaining to the subject." 

From The Pittsburg Medical Review. 

" The work is valuable not alone to the student of med 
text-book in one branch of his study, but likewise to the pr 
who may at any time be called to protect his patient agaii 
accusation, or to give his assistance in bringing a c/ 
justice." 

From The American Journal of Insanity. 

" We would add, in conclusion, that Dr. Reese's tes 
worthy the great medical school from which it emanates, 
his conscientious work will surely serve to encourage, a 
would hope, an increasing interest in that most importan 
much neglected subject, forensic medicine."
